Reps from real estate titan Two Trees Management - which opened the $50 million public park in 2018 as part of its mixed-use rental project in Williamsburg paying tribute to the old Domino Sugar Plant that once operated there - fired off letters Friday to federal, state, and city agencies urging they investigate the Oct. 17 incident involving the Sir Winston vessel.

Queens detectives are investigating the death of a man with body trauma found inside an apartment building on Friday afternoon. The grim discovery occurred inside 20-50 Nameoke Ave. in Far Rockaway just before 2:40 p.m. on Jan. 30, police reported. Officers from the 101st Precinct responded to the location after receiving a 911 call about an unconscious man inside the premises.

Mayor Mamdani swept into Gracie Mansion on the promise of ending widespread corruption around policing and street safety. He can do both by laser-focusing his efforts on eliminating the prevalent abuse and forgery of parking placards. Mamdani has a rare chance to permanently halt this dangerous and criminal practice, and, in doing so, radically alter the balance of power in New York City. For the past decade, under the handle @placardabuse, we've documented how a large contingent of car drivers misuse their parking privileges -

First, I want to thank the thousands of city workers who have gone above and beyond to lift snow off of our streets and to look after those most at risk in a moment like this, and yet we know that there is clearly so much more to be done as we maintain our efforts to clear crosswalks and bus stops to melt snow, and above all, to protect New Yorkers who are most at risk from this historic and dangerous cold,

Former consort braved the newly reincarnated Absolute Bagels & bailed when he found 45 people in line, in the cold. One of our oldest friends, who retreated to the Bay Area long ago, always used to say: "The more New Yorkers get fucked, the more they like it." Now with more Instagram...

You don't have to live long in Williamsburg or Greenpoint to know New York is becoming too expensive for working families. Rents are out of control, and far too many of our neighbors are being priced out of the communities they've called home for generations. As president of the Cooper Park Residents Council, I see every day how the housing crisis affects seniors, parents, and young people who are just trying to stay in the city they love.

Somewhere, maybe, Woody Allen finally regrets opposing that bike lane. Among the millions of pages the federal government released on Friday - as part of the wide-ranging pedophilia scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, Donald Trump and other figures - a single page involving the film auteur and groomer stands out as a perfect crystallization of New York privilege, wealth, contempt for the public and flat-out NIMBYism.

The creditors' committee said "concerning issues" emerged after the parties' earlier settlement, arguing Axar is no longer acting in the best interests of the estate or general unsecured creditors. A key dispute centers on the Mirage's physical condition and how demolition and reconstruction of its large outdoor stage would be funded and executed ahead of the 2026 season.

Photo by Lloyd Mitchell Of the 17 Eric Adams-era vetoes the City Council overturned Thursday, the Aland Etienne Safety and Security Act which guarantees 60,000 private security officers citywide the pay, benefits, and protections they've long been denied marked a deeply personal victory for Etienne's family, who said the vote was the right way to honor his legacy.

Mark Anderson, 36, of Mankato, Minnesota, was arrested and charged with impersonating an FBI agent in a foiled bid to free Mangione from the Metropolitan Detention Center, the notorious Brooklyn lockup where he is held while awaiting state and federal murder trials in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A criminal complaint filed against Anderson did not identify the person he attempted to free. A law enforcement official familiar with the matter confirmed it was Mangione.

Adams struck down Intro. 0276, but not Intro. 1332, on his last day in office. By law, the Council had to reintroduce Intro. 0276 when the new session convened in January.
